I have a laptop that was originally on Windows 7 and still has the OEM windows sticker with serial number on the bottom. I've now reformatted completely removing windows and have installed Ubuntu instead.

Will I be able to install the free Windows 10 upgrade anyhow using my OEM windows serial number?

    Upgrade is an upgrade, you can't upgrade nothing to Windows 10.

  • You will need to install Windows 7 first, if you want the free upgrade, to Windows 10.
